Where do these ugly markers on the osm.org map come from?

Did I miss something ? After reading a question about heights, the whole OSM mapnik presentation seems to be filled with markers. For instance https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/51.5160/-0.1457&layers=N. They were first behind the KR button or similar control tools.

How to avoid there presents on my screen, they’re annoying.

A screenshot would be very useful here. Also do check your layer selection.

The markers you are seeing are coming from the "new" notes feature which has been introduced on April this year. They are disabled by default and I guess you followed a link where they have been activated (there is also a ticket addressing this issue). You can change this setting via the sidebar at the layer selection.

I did both things and descibed them as well, in my question. The layer selection works the same as logout - login, thanks to default.
